For his sins, Carl was brought up on motorsport – attending events with his father nearly every weekend in the Seventies and Eighties! From Roger Clark to Colin McRae in the forests and James Hunt to Ayrton Senna on the race track, he’s watched/met them all.
He also enjoys travel, walking, MotoGP, attending good old fashioned club level motorsport events and B&W and ‘film noir’ movies (Billy Wilder and Hitchcock are his favourites). Studying OS maps is another passion!
